5·vuosi sittenLooks promising, feel free to crosspost to !lemmyapps@lemmy.world
You can try posting to !mlemapp@lemmy.ml as well, they should be able to help you
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Third, I do believe there are third party clients (lemmy apps made by others) that have a word filter feature which allow you to automatically hide post and comments which contain certain keywords. (I think Voyager has that. Download mobile app here. Use the site version of the app here. Keep in mind that it uses lemm.ee as its default instance.)
!newtolemmy@lemmy.ca has a pinned post with a guide on how to block keywords
Thank you for sharing!
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca can help to discover active communities as well
“Choose an instance, your choice doesn’t matter, just pick one.” If it doesn’t matter, why make me pick?
Email requires you to pick a provider, but it doesn’t matter.
Of course a lot of niche topics are going to be more popular on Reddit, everybody is aware of that.
What people try to do by using and making this platform grow is to offer an alternative to Reddit, especially now that they ban people based on upvotes.
You seem to have a very negative opinion of the whole platform. If you dislike it so much here, why not just leave and just use Reddit? And that’s really okay if people leave, that’s part of the network effect.
On the other hand some people will like it and start communities like !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al or !buyeuropean@feddit.uk
- https://piefed.social/feeds
- I started posting regularly on !buyeuropean@feddit.uk which was originally at similar levels of activities with !buyfromeu@feddit.org, now it’s in the top 10 most active communities of the platform. People will follow content, whatever the mods want to do.
- I just started !ask@lemm.ee 2 days ago, reached 1000 active users just now
- !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone was created after powertripping of !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone, and is now much more active (!fediverselore@lemmy.ca for people interested)
You are saying that the model is broken, but examples above show otherwise.
The founders of the non-profit managing LW are Dutch (the non profit is based in the Netherlands): https://fedihosting.foundation/about-us/
Hosting server is in Finland, using Hetzner, a Germany company

- !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
instead focuses attention toward, for each topic, “the one big community” and its contingent idiosyncrasies.
!politics@lemmy.world, !usa@lemmy.ml and !politics@hexbear.net being all active in parallel seems to shows that the model is working
I block all politics.
Lemmy.zip has implemented Default Blocks so that new joiners have politics communities hidden from their All feed: https://lemmy.zip/post/33065677
